Saul Reichlin is totally the wrong reader for this book. His odd, staccato delivery and bad accents make the characters come across as naive – as though the reader has entered a child's world peopled with cardboard cutouts. He totally murders the story pun intended, and he kills the words of Val McDermid, whose gritty modern urban world and fully rounded eccentric characters, suddenly sound like half developed stereotypes whose dialogue comes from an episode of Dora the Explorer.

Have always been a Val McDermid fan but struggled with the narration on this one. The accents were terrible and just did not do the book justice. Persevered with it as I had paid for it, but not great experience! Ending was also too abrupt.
